Strategic Thinking New Technologies Grand Challenges or large scope problems Value of Membership Role of the Member New approaches and tools

Member Value: Threats/Opportunities to IEEE

The Community of Choice is becoming the internet.

Sections? Chapters? Conferences?

Internet Community Builders Web Communities & Personalization:

Appropriate influence on MyIEEE, Xplore by MySpace, YouTube, FaceBook, Clip the Web , The Personal Bee

Game space presence: Creating an IEEE presence in gaming world such as

Second Life Capturing the gaming community (Geelix, Xfire)

MashUps – How can we use this approach to help drive new problem solutions?

Example: jobs clearing house data base and Google Maps come together in a jobs listing map.

Example: ScienceCity (Technology, Energy, Design) – challenges – execution in an ideas-auction marketplace

Member Value: Threats/Opportunities to IEEE

The Community of Choice is becoming the internet. Sections? Chapters? Conferences?

Important Issues for TAB…

Strategic Opportunities

Shaping the future Addressing membership

…while leveraging the strengths of IEEE

Conclusions:Shaping the Future

Nurture New Technologies Define & address Big Scope Issues

and Grand Challenges Define & execute new approaches

New Technology groups grew to 10 Biotechnology and Bioengineering* Distributed Intelligent Networks and Systems Future Power and Alternative Energy Technologies* Digital Intellectual Property Earth Observations* Organic Electronics Biometrics* Portable Information Devices RFID Technological Innovations for Efficient Energy Use and Energy Use management

Provide the framework for expanding the Technical Discussion within IEEE Technical Activities.

"IEEE New Technology Connections,” is the new and improved new technologies portal. It is now integrated with Technology Discourses and features IEEE.tv short segments. http://www.ieee.org/web/emergingtech/home/

New Technologies - 2006

Big Scope Problems/Grand Challenges GEOSS Megacities Green Engineering Alternative Energy Sources Healthcare

Membership & TA (some Q’s)

• Should we be a membership organization first?• How are we doing with younger members?

• Collaboration with GOLD to identify sticky products and services.

• Student members• Do we know how to reach the Practicing

Engineer? New experiments to be included in Xplore New Applications Publications – e.g. RFID Professional Certification (ComSoc, Computer)
